For a little while there, Landman fans had reason to wonder whether Billy Bob Thornton‘s schedule was about to get very crowded. Between his work fronting The Boxmasters and the usual churn around Taylor Sheridan productions, there had been some uncertainty over how the next season of Paramount+’s oil-soaked drama would line up. That was especially true with Season 3 looking like it would start later than the show’s previous two outings. Now, though, Thornton has cut through the noise with a very clear answer.
In an interview with Complex, Thornton has confirmed that he’ll be back for Landman Season 3, with production set to begin in May 2026. Asked directly about his return, the actor’s response was simple: “I’ll be there.”

The update also helps settle concerns that his summer run with The Boxmasters might interfere with the next chapter of the Paramount+ series. Reports tied to the actor’s latest tour rollout indicate that filming is expected to get underway before the band launches its 2026 Morro Rock Tour on June 20 in Orangevale, California.
That timing matters because it points to a slightly later production start than fans have gotten used to with Landman. Previous reporting around the series suggested Season 3 would begin shooting in May, a shift that raised questions about delays and what that could mean for the show’s eventual return. It doesn’t sound like anything disastrous is going on, but it does suggest Sheridan’s hit Western is taking a different road into its next run.
